Looking for good quality soft sheets

12 years ago

I would like to purchase a good quality, really soft set of sheets. Have been looking at The Company Store and Pine Cone Hill. The best set I ever owned were by Wamsutta that I purchased at BB&B years ago. They are the softest sheet I have ever owned but can't find them any more. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much.

Be careful what you wish for! I too was on a mission to find really soft sheets; I loved the bamboo fabric that I got from Target but is no longer available. I found some at Marshall's that are realllllly soft. I did feel them at the store as the package was opened (like someone had returned them) and they felt luxurious--and expensive. However, they are too soft and don't stay tucked in, DH and I are always tugging to get the top sheet over to our side of the bed, they snag, there so no substance to them.

I just bought some 500 tc Hotel Collection sheets. (I got this week for 40% off at The Bay) Macy's carries them in the US and it's likely they have on-going sales as well.

I've used Hotel Collection bedding in the past and have been very pleased with the quality.

I gave up on buying sheets at places likes HomeSense as I found weren't wearing well/pilled etc

What kind of sheets are good

Just purchased Pottery Barn pearl "organic" sheet set. IT IS HORRIBLE. When it first arrived, it was love at first sight... beautiful quality so I thought. After washing, I was stunned. These sheets are my worst nightmare. No one, especially millenials, generally spend two-three hours ironing their sheets. These require MORE care. I washed them in warm water, and both air dried and machine dried (slightly damp). THEY ARE A MESS of hard, embedded wrinkles that even a committed ironing person as myself cannot remove. I ironed one pillowcase for 40 min, with top rated spray starch and COULD NOT REMOVE MAJORITY OF WRINKLES. I don't know whether to toss these in the trash or cut them up for rags, but it was a total waste of my hard earned money. Pottery Barn, known for its quality, should be ashamed.

I am not poor, but I have been poor. I also always liked beautiful things. With the exception of sofas, I ALWAYS have accepted with great pleasure hand-me-downs of very good quality or Craigs list kinds of things--acquaint yourself with the best names in furniture in the last 50 years, and look for those names when you are on Ebay or CL. Think of Downtown Abbey: Do you think these aristocrats bought new furniture? No--they used their Oriental rugs until you could read through them--so if it is good enough for European aristocrats, it's good enough for me. Never buy junk. And when you buy a good sofa, it can last for decades with just re-upholstery every 20 years or so. Really. I'm sitting in my family room. The only thing bought new (many (about 30) years ago) are two upholstered chairs and a sofa, both Henredon, reupholstered several times. Big Baker chair re-upholstered, from Ebay. Clarence House Chintz for about $13 a yard, from an online discount company. Round Hepplewhite leather topped table thrown out by my mother-in-law because it had a cracked leg. My carpenter fixed it. French armless chair, thrown out by my sister-in-law, reupholstered. Black and gilt coffee table, bought on Craigs List. Oriental rug--big, beautiful--bought on Ebay, cheap. I don't mean my taste need be your taste, but you'll find beautiful things that others don't need. Pretend you are inheriting things from your rich family. Put things together little by little as you acquire them and it will create a very organic, interesting room. I second what Tibbrix said above: Let the children eat in the kitchen or dining room. Let them learn to respect your things.

@ livebetter....Thank you for your very detailed explanation of laundry enzymes! While no specific enzyme will "deodorize", as we all know, enzymes aid in the the cleaning process of many proteins and molecules! I work out regularly. I wear anti-perspirant and deodorant DAILY. I do not like to sweat or smell like sweat. Many under arm deos and anti-perspirants adhere to fabric. Without enzymes, laundry detergent cannot thorougly remove the deo and anti-perspirant from the fabric. In turn, the fabric still smells, hence what I like to consier deodorizing! Before I am attacked for not using a "green" deodorant or anti-perspirant...I have tried DOZENS. I hate them all. I do not like to feel wet, and I do not like to smell of underarm odor. If I am putting a hole in the ozone, or killing some baby seal somewhere because I choose to use "real" deodorant & anti-perspirant...well, life sucks sometimes!! :) I do my part for the Earth (solar panels, recycle everything I can, I own a "green" car, all appliances are efficient and new, etc... But, I draw the line with deodorant!! LOL

Mama always said to look for high thread counts, but I'm finding that often high thread counts means poor quality and sheets that are soft...but too limp and thin to last more than a couple of years. The best sheets I ever bought were 200-count 100% percale, purchased about 35-40 years ago. I am still using most of them, although they're on the guest beds now since they're the Full size. Some really good ones I purchased 2 years ago at a department store (on sale, but would pay full price if I had to!) - they're queen size, but the top sheet is king size. I really like the bigger top sheet - I'm less likely to be left cold when hubby turns over and takes the sheet with him! Naturally the sheets are discontinued.

I love BB&B beech sateen sheets. They are very very soft. I have bought several sets over the years for various beds. Guests have commented how wonderful these sheets are!

I do agree with the reviews on the website that they sometimes rip. I exchanged a set that did rip after just a few washes. Another set ripped after a few years (but they were used everyday.)

Despite the questionable quality, I continue to buy them as they are that soft!

We have some Prescott sheets by Ralph Lauren that we got at Macy's. They are silky smooth and extra deep so they stay tucked in. I was buying a bath mat at Macy's today and saw some nice Hotel Collection on sale too, but a single sheet cost what a set did in the Prescott.

I bought these for my son's twin bed and liked them so much ordered for our queen bed also. The reviews on O are mixed - some say they pill but I haven't had that problem. They are all cotton (a must for me) and very soft, and can't beat the price. They are better than much more expensive sheets I've had.

My favorites - microfiber sheets from Spalena are wonderfully soft and wear well. The 600 thread count cotton sheets from Costco are very good too.

"The 600 thread count cotton sheets from Costco are very good too."

They're fabulous -- Really, really fabulous. Even better than the D. Porthault we're using now.

Thank you so much for all of the responses. I am going to take a look at Costco the next time that I'm in there. I will also take a look at the Pottery Barn sheets. I love their bedding but have not purchased any of their sheets. I have decided to slowly replace my old sheets with all white cotton sheets and take my others to goodwill. Thanks again.

I have the costco sheets too and I love them. Plus, they are the only deep fitted sheets that actually fit my mattress and stay on the bed.

Bought Tommy Bahama sheets in Home Goods, all cotton, softest sheets! Love, love them and love the designs. Bought the light coral design.

Tried to find them on the Home Goods website to provide a pic., but there is no online website, only blogs. Really beautiful, soft sheets and only $39.99 for King.

Sheets are a problem these days because they are no longer manufactured in the US, so the quality control and consistency within a brand that we were used to in the old days is gone.

That said, I have found that Costco's best Kirkland sheets are consistently soft and smooth. Unfortunately, I have found that other brands can vary, from year to year and even from color to color at the same store! Their fabric comes from such a variety of factories and the quality control is less than stellar.

Thanks again for the suggestions! I plan to make a trip to Costco soon. This weekend, I picked up Dreamzone sheets in the Wamsutta line from BB&B. Haven't put them on yet, but hope they will be good!
